"I actually have nothing to do when I come back this time. I mainly came to confirm if there were any accidents at St. Mungo's. Of course, I also came to take a rest and eat something by the way..."
In the ward, Harry was sitting cross-legged on the floor that had not yet been taken away, stuffing cookies into his mouth while vaguely explaining why he came back to St. Mungo's.
But obviously, the main reason why they came back was actually because they were really tired—didn’t you see that Thomas almost dozed off while eating
Just to prevent everyone from worrying, Harry just mentioned it in passing.
Hermione, who could tell at a glance that Harry was also very tired, immediately pulled aside Fred, George and others who were still asking questions around him, and then said to Harry:
"Anyway, you guys have a good rest and eat some biscuits before taking a nap! If you are too tired, the possibility of making mistakes during the battle will increase. What you will lose by then is not just such a little time, but your own life. Got it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a soft "pop" sound, and a bitten cookie fell out of the black mist emerging from Thomas' body.
"Well?"
While Harry was chewing heavily, he turned his head and looked over there, only to find that Thomas in the black mist seemed to have fallen asleep against the wall.
"Oh," he paused for a moment before shrugging and sighing casually, "I really envy people like him who can fall asleep anytime and anywhere!"
After saying that, he suddenly covered the iron box with half of the cookies left, then took the last piece in his hand and greeted Ginny.
"Can you go out with me for a while?" Harry asked, "Neville is working as a 'bodyguard' for the Queen right now, and I don't know when he will be back! I have to go visit his parents and grandma for him... I'll wait until I get back. When I go out again, I might as well say something to him to reassure him."
"Oh, of course," Ginny stood up immediately after hearing this, "Then let's go now! You should come back early to rest after reading the book later."
The next moment, everyone watched Harry and Ginny walking towards the door one after another.
"Hey, wait! I also—" "Shut up."
Ron shouted almost subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, he only felt a pain in his ankle, and then realized that it was kicked by Hermione who was standing next to him.
"It's okay, you go ahead! I still have something to talk to Ron."
"Oh, is it so… "
Harry looked at Ron at the door, then nodded to Hermione somewhat sheepishly, and then took Ginny's hand and went out.
Waiting until the door closed, Hermione glared at Ron.
"Don't you have any eyesight? What are you doing with me at this time? You are getting in the way of both of them!"
"That's not true!" Who knew that when Ron was told this by her, he immediately said with a grimace, "Of course I know why Harry called Ginny... But, that's my biological sister! The thought of raising her My sister who has been with me for so long is probably going to be deprived of her first kiss. In my heart... Oh, even if you are my best friend, I-"
"Is this Ginny's first kiss?"
"Isn't it?"
Not far away, Fred and George looked at each other, each saying something that stunned Ron.
"By the way," Percy added next to him, "don't forget that we are also Ginny's brothers... and I think Harry would be a good brother-in-law!"
But Ron seemed not to have heard Percy's words. He was stunned for a long time before he said loudly as if he suddenly realized:
"Michael Corner! How could I forget that kelp head! Damn... he, he actually kissed my lovely sister with his mouth that swallowed a Flobber caterpillar alive!"
"Don't blame me for not warning you." Fred patted Ron on the left shoulder, "You must never mention this matter in front of Ginny -"
"Well, if you still want to live!"
George followed suit and put his hand on his right shoulder.
…
The "glorious deed" of eating Flobber caterpillars alive as a child must have been a stain on classmate Michael Corner's life. It's a pity that he was so proud of it at the beginning.
If not, he wouldn't have secretly taken it out and shared it with Maka during the sorting ceremony.
Of course, he would never tell Ginny such a disgusting thing.
Ginny, who was following Harry along the corridor, naturally knew nothing about Ron's wailing in the ward. The two of them were already far away.
"Harry."
Probably it was the teasing looks in everyone's eyes before they came out that made both Harry and Ginny feel a little embarrassed. But after walking for a short distance, Ginny couldn't help but call him.
"You... didn't encounter any danger outside, right? If you did, don't hide it from me. That would make me even more worried."
"Well," Harry pursed his lips hesitantly, "If I have to say it... there must be danger, and I obviously wouldn't believe it without you. But, I think I should be able to protect myself. Look - I wasn't injured at all, isn't this the best proof?"
"Um."
Hearing this, Ginny nodded slightly, and then carefully held Harry's hand. After the latter felt the slight warmth coming from his hand, he couldn't help but squeeze it back with a little force.
Then, I heard him continue:
"What's more, hasn't Maka been telling us repeatedly that no matter what we do, we must first consider our own safety? We often feel that what Maka says makes sense, but especially this sentence, That’s what really touched me deeply.”
Speaking of this, Harry suddenly paused, and then said with emotion:
"If something happens to me, how can I help more people?"
If this sentence was heard by Maka himself, he would probably feel a little ashamed for saying such a big truth. Because even he himself sometimes finds it difficult to maintain such absolute sanity.
For example, if it hadn't been for Delphi's intervention, he would have returned home seriously injured trying to save Luna.
However, the truth must be true, so Ginny quickly nodded again.
"Yes!" She smiled and said, "Actually, after you left, I have been thinking about this truth - even if we stay in St. Mungo's like us, to a certain extent, it is also for protection. Come and help you and Maka. If we try our best to go out and encounter danger, or even lose our lives, it will harm you."
"… Ginny."
After Harry heard what she said, he couldn't help but stop and turned around to look at her face lovingly. On the other side, Ginny also looked back.
Unknowingly, the intertwined gazes between the two gradually became heated, just like their respective burning hearts.
Then, Harry, who could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart, finally hugged Ginny into his arms, and the two faces came closer and closer.
"Ginny-"
At such a close distance, every breath of the girl became so clear, it felt itchy on the face, but it was inexplicably hot.
"I will be lucky to have a smart and considerate girlfriend like you."
While the words were still lingering in Ginny's ears, Harry finally kissed her awkwardly... maybe because of his nervousness! Compared with the slightly hot palms, Ginny's two soft lips seemed slightly cold, but this made Harry even more eager to warm the other person.
"Ahem."
I don’t know how long it took, but when the two flames were intertwined and almost indistinguishable from each other, and when both Harry and Ginny felt a little dizzy due to a slight lack of oxygen, a dry cough suddenly sounded in the corridor, frightening them. The young lovers suddenly separated.
"Maka?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your good things. It's just... When I came here just now, I happened to meet the dean who was personally patrolling the night... I think he will pass by here soon."
Yes, the visitor turned out to be Maka, which neither Harry nor Ginny expected.
"Ah... um," Harry blushed, letting Ginny hide behind him, "Maka, can I ask... how long have you been looking there?"
"Huh?" Maka spread her hands and said with a chuckle, "Actually, it didn't take long, probably only thirty or forty seconds! Oh, but to a certain extent, this is quite a long time - you guys It takes so long to hold a breath!”
Having said that, Maka didn't stop any longer and continued walking forward. Seeing this, Harry and Ginny subconsciously took a half step back to make way for him.
"Don't worry, I won't tell this secret to anyone else," Maka patted Harry on the shoulder as she passed him, "Are you going to the Longbottoms' ward? Go quickly! If it takes a while It’s daybreak, and the therapists will start their routine examinations!”
Seeing Maka walking away from here, walking step by step towards Luna's ward, Harry turned back and looked at Ginny, who was still blushing.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Harry whispered as if he remembered something, "I almost forgot something, that... you go over first, and I will catch up and say a few words to Maka. Be here in a moment!"
"oh."
Ginny nodded, and then watched as Harry chased Maka in the direction where he left, and soon disappeared around the corner in front of him.
She didn't care what Harry wanted to say to Maka, because her heart was still beating fast!
"…Harry."
After gently touching her lips, feeling the lingering warmth of Harry on them, she walked to the other side of the corridor with a slight confusion after a moment.
